Next Narnia Movie News
Which Narnia Movie Next?
Would you Prefer The Silver Chair or The Magician's Nephew?
Tell The World which Narnia Movie Should be Filmed Next:
The Silver Chair
bellatheblonde says:
I think the silver chair should be next because its the next book so it makes sence. So far the movies have been in order with the books, I only hope that they would keep it that way.
anonymous says:
if they are going to stop at a fourth movie, then i think maybe the last battle, but i would like susan to be in the film too, and more older chracter sfrom before like reepicheep, caspian, trumpkin etc. otherwise i choose the silver chair.
Required Name says:
When was this article written? Anyways, I'd prefer the NEXT book in the series, until they have done ALL of them.
wadsworc says:
The Silver Chair. Now that we've been introduced to Eustace and Caspian's Narnia, it would be a bit jolting to see a completely different Narnia/characters and then keep on with the Eustace story after getting to know Digory and Polly.
kinworm says:
On one hand I'd love to see The Silver Chair filmed next seeing as it's the next book in the publication order and makes sense logically. I'd also really love to see the fantastic actor, Will Poulter, reprise his role as Eustace.
The Magician's Nephew
narnia says:
The Magician's Nephew is the sixth book published by Lewis, but is the first chronologically. It tells the story of how Narnia was created, revealing the origins of the wardrobe and other items first introduced in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
"We are starting to talk to Fox and talk to the CS Lewis estate now about the Magician's Nephew being our next film," said Michael Flaherty of Walden Media, which owns the screen rights to the Narnia series. "If we can all agree to move forward, then what we would do is find someone to write the script. So, it could still be a couple of years."
kinworm says:
However, The Magician's Nephew is such a fantastic book that I can't wait to see a blockbuster movie made for it - but only if they do it real justice bringing it to the big screen like they have with The Lord of the Rings.
What is the Fourth Narnia Movie?
Will it be The Silver Chair or The Magician's Nephew?
and this should have been filmed next if that ordering was to be followed.But doubt was poured on this choice when it looked as though the powers that be would choose to go with The Magician's Nephew instead.
To be fair, the second and third Narnia movies (Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader) were nowhere near as successful financially as the first. Choosing to film The Magician's Nephew instead, which has always been the second most popular book, does make a lot more business sense. Even though it might not make much continuity sense to Narnia fans!
as the next installment. As an avid reader of the books by C. S. Lewis, I do think this would be a shame because I would have loved to see all the films made in the publication order.I can understand the business logic behind doing The Magician's Nephew instead of the less popular The Silver Chair and maybe if enough people support the Chronicles of Narnia movies, we'll get all of them made eventually.
The Silver Chair OR ...
The Magician's Nephew
is the prequel to the Narnia series even though C. S. Lewis wrote it as sixth in the Chronicles of Narnia series. Originally titled Polly and Digory because it revolves around the escapades of these two children who get sucked into what becomes the magical world of Narnia.Tilda Swinton who plays the White Witch (also called Jadis) in the 2005 The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, talks about her character in an interview: "I hope they make it. [The Magician's Nephew] It's a prequel that explains where Jadis came from and how Narnia is created. She's so bad that she destroyed her empire to spite her sister. There's this one deplorable word, which we don't know what it is, that if it's spoken; everything is vanquished and she's the only one alive. She does it to spite her sister. She just wants to dominate. The idea of anybody having anything over her is confusing." Quote credit.

Reading Order - Chronicles of Narnia
And Chronicles of Narnia Movie Order
(UK Chronicles of Narnia
) on which the movies are based, were originally written in the following order (publication date) by C. S. Lewis and many people argue this original way is the best way to read them.I've read through the books both ways and I really prefer them by the publication order - they just flow better. At some point it was recommended that people read the books in their chronological order (according to the timeline of the stories) and this became the standard.
The movies have, so far, been following the publication order which has made a lot of sense seeing that this ensured they could start with filming the most popular of the books (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) first.
By Publication Date:
By Chronological Order:
1) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: 1950
1) The Magician's Nephew
2) Prince Caspian: 1951
2) The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
3) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: 1952
3) The Horse and His Boy
4) The Silver Chair: 1953
4) Prince Caspian
5) The Horse and His Boy: 1954
5) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6) The Magician's Nephew: 1955
6) The Silver Chair
7) The Last Battle: 1956

Will this be the last Narnia Movie?
After all, movie-making is a big business. If movies don't return excellent profits then they simply can't continue.

VOTE for your Best Narnia Movie!
This one is easy for me because we saw The Voyage of the Dawn Treader at the cinema and we were all blown away by how good and entertaining it was. I love the sea and am fascinated with boats - so a bit of a no-brainer really.
It seemed especially good after Prince Caspian which is a bit of a slow burn - although I do think that one takes time to grow on you.

- Great lens! I wondered how the producers were going to make a film out of Dawn Treader--the book's great, but it doesn't lend itself to today's cinema expectations. I think it turned out well, but it wasn't my favorite of the three current ones. Great acting and effects, but of all the films so far, I think its storyline lacked the most of CS Lewis's touch. I hope they make a fourth one soon though!

- I think they should make The Silver Chair next - it was set up so perfectly at the end of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Prince Caspian was awful as a film, but the Voyage of the Dawn Treader more than made up for that. The problem is that most people think that TLTW&TW was the first book - surprisingly few people realise that The Magician's Nephew is the beginning of the series.

- You are so right, Melissia. Many people don't realise that The Magician's Nephew is actually the start of the Narnia series. Sadly, I don't think we're going to see another Narnia movie for a long time :( I hope I'm wrong but I don't think so.
